There is a lot of discussion here and elsewhere that before the 1980s nude swimming was the norm and being nude for other athletic activities was not uncommon at male only locations. I am not aware if same was true for females. Could anyone comment on their experiences about this?

I am not aware if same was true for females. Could anyone comment on their experiences about this?I was always allowed to swim nude at the local county operated pool and at two different public lake swimming locations.Very few boys did this and the practice faded away by the time I was 17.The girls always wore bathing suits and the boys always wore small swim trunks.I recall busy days of 50-75 kids and adults of evenly mixed sexes with an average of 5- 10 boys naked.Of those more than half were little dudes under 10I remember about the time I was 14 or15 Id often be the only nude boy over 10 or 11 years old.By the time I was 17 I was often the only nude boy of any age. Then came the signs,Swim suits must be worn, No Cut off jeans.Seems cut off clogged pool filters.My mother told me I was made In Gods Image and raised without shame.
Did adult men ever swim nude or just boys?

You lived through the 80s, grew up before it, and yet you have no direct experience of nude swimming and other activities as the norm for boys.
Why is that?

I had some experience with boys and men swimming nude and a little of men exercising nude when there were no women present. I have never heard reference if women also swam or did other athletic activities nude when no men were present. That is what I was asking about,

So which of your two statements is true?
Was it the norm to swim nude, or only sometimes as both cant be factual.
In the 50's & 60's, there was a YMCA and YWCA. At that time swimsuits were of cotton and other natural materials. These can clog the filters, so nude swimming was to be used, wish it was still that way! Today suites are mostly nylon and there is no problem with them.
